And at least 5 times a year someone designs a new one where it is painfully obvious that they're almost entirely unaware that anyone has ever designed one before - or if you're very lucky, maybe they've heard of ABC.
I understand this, but it coincidentally uses CO2 and it's hard for me to understand why the technology would sound "too good to be true" without imagining such a purpose.
Try Pass4Wallet from the app store. It's free and supports a huge array of barcode types, including codabar. It's been my go-to custom card app for a number of years.
being able to reply IS the ability to send to an arbitrary address, because the SMTP protocol makes it trivial to SEND an email from any arbitrary address.
You hit the nail on the head. From an SMTP perspective, 'replying' is functionally identical to 'sending,' which is why most disposable mail services are strictly receive-only.
The moment you allow outbound traffic, you risk being weaponized as an open relay for spam. To implement a safe 'Reply-Only' feature, Mephisto would need a sophisticated validation layer that cryptographically links the outbound reply to a specific, recently received message ID. Even then, rate-limiting would have to be extremely aggressive. For now, staying receive-only is a deliberate choice to protect the service's reputation and ensure 100% uptime.

There are additional protocols like SPF, DKIM, DMARC which allow to restrict who can send mail for a domain. In this case you should be able to validate the address.
